Summary
A colony survives among the icy rings of a planet, hiding from alien robots determined to destroy them … at a remote site on the edge of the Arctic Circle, a group of scientists, engineers, and physicians gather to gamble humanity’s future on one last-ditch experiment … a man who can’t feel pain has been bioengineered to be a killing machine, but he refuses to give in to his fate … a man is contacted by three future versions of himself, each trying to save their world from destruction.
For decades, science fiction has compelled us to imagine futures both inspiring and cautionary. Whether it’s a warning message from a survey ship, a harrowing journey to a new world, or the adventures of well-meaning AI, science fiction inspires the imagination and delivers a lens through which we can view ourselves and the world around us. With The Best Science Fiction of the Year: Volume Five, award-winning editor Neil Clarke provides a year-in-review and twenty-eight of the best stories published by both new and established authors in 2019.

good stories narration mostly good
the stories were generally really good, and the narrators were also generally good, but I couldn't listen to some of them - Lisa Renee Pitts - I skipped all hers - seems like she's really great at her thing - seems well respected - but not reading these for me. the rich Larson one was just hard to understand.

Some Thought Provoking Clever Sci Fi
The stories in this collection lean towards the bleak - but are all intriguing and clever enough to make this a very good listen. Mixed bag of narrators but most are really good and do the stories justice.
Really recommend this series overall.
